Saving Your Configuration:
After setting up your new system, you will want to save all of your settings. There is a file called filetool.lst. It is a simple text file of files and directories listed one per line using a full path that the user wants to save/restore. Use any of the DSL editors to change/update (e.g., select Scite, then open filetool.lst).
It is important to note that the entry /home/dsl/filetool.lst must NOT be removed from the filetool.lst as this provides for persistence for the filetool.lst that the user can keep updating as desired.
Also note that the capability now exists to boot and restore your setting with the use of the restore boot time option:
boot: dsl restore
These options together with a local .xinitrc provide the user with much more control of their preferred environment. For example, by editing the .xinitrc you can start up your favorite X-Windows programs. For the popular enhance, just remove the comment in the default .xinitrc. You can start non-Window programs by editing the .bash_profile and then adding it to your filetool.lst. You can even load addiitonal modules and system-specific required files by editing the /opt/bootlocal.sh file and then adding it to your filetoool.lst.
Optionally, you can choose the backup device. If you desire to backup to a hard drive, then select Specify Device, e.g. hda2. This will override the automatic detection for users with no usb pen drives or the desire not to use such. Using this option would require the boot up option of
boot: dsl restore=hda2
If you are a Mozilla Firefox user, then download Firefox as before, but now add the /home/damnsall/.phoenix to your filetool.lst and your settings including bookmarks will be saved/restored, even from boot up. And even if you only have a floppy!
Now, if you have a usb memory pen of large enough capacity, you can even add the entire /opt/MozillaFirebird directory to the filetool.lst and MozillaFirebird will be saved and restored.
